i'm looking for a story, and i'm hoping to find it in a book i can order on the ray bradbury site. the story is called "fire balloons" and i know this to be his because i read it in an older version of Illustrated Man in high school.

Unfortunately, you cannot order books through this site. (Though what a great idea!) I recommend the usual sources - Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, etc. - but I'll bet that before long, someone'll come along and post even better sources for both new and used volumes of Bradbury's books.

Good luck!

It's in some editions of "The Martian Chronicles" and not in others, so be careful which you get.

The story "The Fire Balloons" can be found in the collections The Illustrated Man and The Stories of Ray Bradbury.
